γδT-cells are unconventional T lymphocytes that are only sparsely found in blood and secondary lymphoid organs. Instead, they are enriched in barrier organs such as the skin and can respond to conserved self and non-self antigens to assist in tissue immunosurveillance. Today, it is well accepted that γδT-cells, which express pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-17, […]
Enzyme involved in lysosomal disorders has surprising role in hair pigmentation. The enzyme UDP-GlcNAc-1-Phosphotransferase (GNPTAB) is shown by the authors of a recent study to be a clinically important enzyme in the control of human hair pigmentation. GNPTAB is an enzyme that is involved in the correct intracellular shuttling of lysosomal enzymes to lysosomes […]
